Beckett, whom Boston traded to the Dodgers late last season, has been on the disabled list since May 15 with a groin injury. According to the Los Angeles Times, he has felt numbness in his pitching hand for about a month, and when asked if he thought the injury might be career-ending, he voiced concerns.

"Any time something like that happens to your arm or you start losing feeling and stuff … you think about it for sure," Beckett told the Times. "I don't really want to think like that right now. I want to think about figuring out a way to deal with this."

Beckett, 33, is expecting to have results of an MRI Monday that will be examined by a nerve specialist.

"I'm concerned," he said. "I've never dealt with anything like this for this amount of time. We'll just have to see what happens there."

Beckett is 0-5 with a 5.19 ERA this season and is signed through the 2014 season.
